Adalberto Santiago - Adalberto (1977)

Adalberto Santiago's solo debut on Fania finally gives due to the talents of the seasoned vocalist after his Ray Barretto, Típica '73, and Los Kimbos days. As usual, he shines in all genres: guaracha, guaguancó, and son montuno are all undisputed specialties. The excellent "Imposible Ha De Ser" (composed by C. Curet Alonso) was the best promoted tune, but the rest works pretty much on the same level. A gem among many gems by the always first-rate Santiago.~José A. Estévez, Jr.
